taken by stacking large numbers of video frames. The trick with stacking is
that you have to learn to use the software[Registax or similar], the stacking
is just the beginning. You have to choose a reference frame. After stacking,
the image has then to be worked on in the wavelets section of Registax in order to bring out, or highlight, the hidden detail in the image.
The benefits of stacking are much more obvious when imaging the planets,
where a single frame image cannot hold a candle to the often stunning
stacked images.

P.S. I suspect that many newbies don't really properly understand how to
use Registax[or similar].
